Why is my long-haired cat vomiting bile and not eating or drinking?

Question

Hi! My cat has been vomiting water/bile for the past twenty four hours. He is going longer each time but will not drink, eat or groom. He is a long haired cat and when not vomiting he will sleep but is not chatty at all even though most of the time I can't get him to shut up. What do you think this may be?

That could be related to hairballs,or possibly another type of gastrointestinal disease(infection, inflammation, pancreatitis and many others). I would suggest to withhold food for the next 8-12 hours and then start feeding with a bland diet based on boiled white fish and rice in small portion every 6 hours for the following 48hours. Then gradually reintroduce the normal diet over 5 days. I would definitively recommend a veterinary check up if the signs persist or you notice diarrhoea, more vomiting, lethargy or inappetence.
